Woman wants a leather handbag made from the skin of her amputated leg

A 55-year-old Manchester woman who suffers from a device Arterial disease and will soon have his left leg surgically removed is looking for a manufacturer willing to make him a leather handbag on his amputated limb.

Sewport, an online marketplace that links brands and manufacturers, has received a strange request from the woman who was seeking to contact a leather expert to ask her to make a leather purse made from the skin of the leg she was going to have surgically removed for medical reasons.

Instead of dismissing her inquiry from the outset, Sewport's experts read the woman's message and determined that her motives were valid. So they decided to help him in his research.

Apparently, the 55-year-old woman, simply called Joan, can not accept the idea that her leg will become a medical waste after the surgery. So she proposed this unusual plan to at least keep some of it.

"I know it's a bit weird and rude, and some might think I'm crazy, but it's my leg and I can not stand the thought of letting it rot somewhere" Joan wrote in her message to Sewport. "It's part of me and I want to keep it."

"I know it's disgusting, but people keep their baby's umbilical chords and have the ashes of a family member on their display stands." So it's not so strange if one think about it. "

Sewport revealed that Joan had decided to contact them after reading another unusual request from a woman who wanted a hair dress from her mother. She said that it inspired her to do something similar. To show that she was serious about her plan, the 55-year-old woman even sent Sewport a sketch of the accessory that she had in mind, a medium-sized bag with a short strap.

Joan says she has about £ 3,000 ($ 3,900) earmarked for this project, but adds that if that's not enough, she can be flexible on the budget. The important thing is to find a person who is really ready to fulfill his dream.

At present, Joan would be negotiating with the hospital to find out if she could even keep her leg amputated after the operation. "I'm trying to find out if I can keep my leg after the surgery and the discussions have been positive so far, so let's cross our fingers!" She writes.

Sewport is currently looking for manufacturers wishing to help Joan with her unique request and asks anyone who can help her to send her an e-mail to [email protected], with as object " handbag for amputee ".
